Steele Jantz.....

Will he be our starting QB next year with a new QB Coach and OC?? Will he at least get a shot at the job in the off-season?? I am not a Steele or Jared or whoever fanatic....I just want the best guy at the position.

If you look back on the stats, Steele and Jared were pretty similar (Jared had better running stats and Steele had better passing stats). Turnovers were about the same (Steele was injured after the UConn game and that did have some effect on INTs and Fumbles)

Re: Steele Jantz.....

My guess is that if Steele out plays JB during the spring and summer he'll start.

If JB out plays Steele, he'll start.

I don't think this staff grandfathers guys in, or plays favorites. They made this clear when they made the mid-season change, and all the rumors this summer that suggested that JB would likely finish ahead of Tiller on the UNI depth chart. The best man will win, and he'll continue to play until he graduates or is not the best man.

THIS....

Competition is good for all involved. That said, I think JB will win it.

Yeah....its been discussed a bunch on here. I just wanted to compare stats because I know some ppl on here think Jared was WAY better than Steele was when he started the last 5 games and honestly thats not the case.

Re: Steele Jantz.....

If I were the coaches, I would look to see if Steele is willing to switch to safety. He seems to have the speed and agility and we could use another body back there. From all accounts, Barnett should be able to handle the position. We need to get the best players on the field.

the only stat that matters is W/L...........Barnett beat two top 25 teams and in his two losses (against top 10 teams on the road), ISU was driving to win/tie and competitve thru 3 quarters.

Steele should not be at safety.....when he played well at QB he looked GOOD. REAL GOOD. Whether he wins or loses the QB battle, he will help the team by staying at QB. Whoever wins the job could get hurt, and having someone as a backup that has played and won is better than having someone that hasen't come in.
